Yeah I found that pretty weird as well lol

I told this to my friends who are not Blazers or Bulls fans(one of them Celtics fan, one of them Spurs fan, one of them Knicks fan, and one of them that just watches the NBA and doesn't have a favorite).

The Celtics fan, and the NBA fan think it favors the Blazers.
The Spurs fan thinks it favors the Bulls.
The Knicks fan thinks it favors both teams.

We should all be honoring Kevin Duckworth, not talking about this BS trade

I don't think it is super unfair trade. It is just a trade the Blazers wouldn't make with the roster they have. Most teams don't need half their players being PG's.

Maybe KP has been seeing Shawn Kemp lately

Just as I suspected, only the Spurs fan is knowledgeable about the game.

if you're gonna trade for a pg .......why dont you drop some of our current ones. We have too much.

By that metric it's probably a perfect trade.

Honestly I don't "hate" the trade from a talent or value standpoint, but it's the giant holes that it creates for the Blazers in the frontcourt that seem to make it untenable ... I just keep thinking there must be something going on that we haven't heard about, like a 3rd trading partner or something.

Josh Howard? AK47? G-Wallace? Tay Prince? Al Harrington? Would a trade with LaFrentz's expiring for one of those guys interest both teams? Just throwing out names of available SF's.

Tortimer

Sure, I would love to get Prince and maybe Wallace or Howard. Prince would be a perfect fit for the Blazers IMO. I just can't see Dumar's letting him go. I heard Dumars wanted Roy for Prince when KP ask about trading for Prince. I think it probably took a total of about 2 seconds for KP to hangup.

I'd love Tayshaun Prince or Josh Howard (and even Gerald Wallace) ... but hard to see any of those guys being available.

P to the Wee

Haha this Piston dude I know on this one forum told me Rip and Sheed for Roy and Aldridge would be fair. He said that 6 straight ECF made both of them valuable.

Of course this guy lives in his mom's basement and collects checks from the government, which would explain his ridiculous trade ideas

I wouldn't doubt that the Bulls are trying to get Rudy. Maybe this was discussed several pages back, but I see no reason why they would want another SF. Isn't SG what they lack? They are probably dangling Kirk to see if KP is interested at all. I am guessing no.
